Yun Chao came from a later generation with great material wealth. Although he inherited the memory of the original owner, he had no personal experience and could not empathize with the pain of the poor at the bottom of this era.
However, two lifetimes of experience, combined with the cry of the child next door, soon made Yun Chao understand why Lin Youniang was depressed.
"Young lady, is Aunt Wang's house next door also running out of food?"
Thinking of the bowl of ginger soup he drank when he first traveled through time, Yun Chao felt the need to care about Aunt Wang next door.
What's more, according to the memory of the original owner, the relationship between the two families was very good. After Yun Chao's parents and eldest brother died, because he and Lin Youniang were young, they were often taken care of by Aunt Wang next door.
"Well, we should be running out of food. Today I saw Shitou going to Muramasa's house to borrow food, but it seems he didn't get it..."
Aunt Wang's husband died last year, Shitou is her eldest son, and the crying child is her youngest daughter.
…
"Yun Er, come out!"
Suddenly, a drake called outside the door.
No need to ask, it must be Muramasa Yori's second son Lai Shouyi.
"Lai Xiaoer, what are you calling for? The food has been stewed. You can't change it even if you want to!"
With that said, Yun Chao walked out. He didn't want that bastard Lai Shouyi to enter the house.
"Huh, I'm not looking for you, it's my father who's looking for you. Come with me now!"
Smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen, Lai Shouyi swallowed hard.
Their family lives better than ordinary villagers, but the life is limited.
Lai Zhicheng is a very stingy person. Most of the food he eats at home consists of grains. As for meat, he spends all his money on it and is reluctant to eat it only a few times throughout the year.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it was the time when his body was growing. When he smelled the aroma of meat, Lai Shouyi could not wait to rush into Yun Chao's house and eat all his food!
"What does your father want from me?"
"How did I know? Didn't you know it when you went there?"
"Okay, just wait for me and I'll follow you."
Yun Chao went back to say hello to Lin Youniang and asked her to eat first. Then he fished a sparrow out of the pot and gnawed it while walking out of the yard under the worried eyes of the little girl.
"Let's go, doesn't your father want to see me? Why are you still standing there?"
"Oh, oh oh!"
Lai Shouyi originally planned to wait for Yun Chao to leave and go to his house to see if he could eat some meat, but Yun Er, a monkey spirit, insisted on dragging him along. It was really abominable!
"Yun... Yun Er, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Bird, don't you recognize it? Well, the bird meat is good, very fragrant..."
"I……"
If his father hadn't repeatedly warned him not to go too far, Lai Shouyi would have snatched Yun Chao right now.
This kid is so annoying. He only cares about eating for himself. You should let me go!
What's even more disgusting is that it took so long to walk from Yun Chao's house to their Lai house, but Yun Er didn't even finish eating the bird!
Moreover, Yun Er still walked in the limelight, smacking his tongue while chewing: "It smells good, it smells so good..."
Smelling the scent, Lai Shouyi wanted to kill someone!
Until they entered the house, Yun Er was still chewing the bird. Lai Shouyi's eight-year-old little brother immediately ran over and stared at the bird in Yun Chao's hand, drooling without even realizing it!
Sitting in the main room, Lai Zhicheng saw this scene clearly. In his impression, Yun Chao was just an ignorant little kid who could figure it out in a few words.
Unexpectedly, this kid could still act as if nothing had happened when he arrived at his own home. There was no trace of timidity on his face, and he didn't know if he was stupid or if he could really keep his composure.
"Yun Er, I heard that you caught a lot of birds?"
Yun Chao shook the half sparrows in his hand: "Not many. I only caught six in half an hour."
Lai Zhicheng's eyelids twitched, which meant that he didn't know what pretentiousness meant, otherwise he would definitely appreciate Yun Er's big ears.
"Then can you still catch as many as you did today?"
"Yes, if I hadn't been hungry, I could have caught more today."
Yun Chao spoke in an understatement, but Lai Zhicheng listened with enthusiasm.
In Lai Zhicheng's view, Yun Chao is young and has no experience. He simply does not understand what it means to have a skill at catching birds.
He is a dignified head of a village who is reluctant to eat meat. If he can learn this skill, he can eat as many birds as he wants in the future. If he can't finish eating, can he still sell them?
Yun Chao only has one person, but he can make many people work for him. If everyone can catch so many birds, then their Lai family will not be able to make a fortune!
Lai Zhicheng's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile: "Yun Er, tell me, how does uncle treat you?"
Yun Chao rolled his eyes and said nothing. He wanted to fool you, Brother Yun. Comrade Lai, you should be more naive.
Seeing Yun Chao's reaction, Lai Zhicheng gnashed his teeth. Who said Yun Er was easy to deal with? This Ni Ma is a complete little fox!
Since Yun Chao is not on the road, Lai Zhicheng is no longer prepared to make excuses with him: "Yun Er, tell me, how can you tell me how to catch birds?"
"ah?"
Yun Chao seemed to have just understood, and his eyes were wider than Lin Youniang's: "Muramasa, you... you can't steal our family's secret recipe. My eldest brother paid for it with his life!"
Lai Zhicheng's eyelids began to twitch again, and he wanted to slap Yun Chao to death, but when he thought of his elder brother, he suppressed the ferocious anger that was brewing.
Unlike Yun Chao, Boss Yun is a well-known man.
If he hadn't been seriously injured in a fight with someone outside and later had his hair cut off, Lai Zhicheng wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant in Wolong Village.
Although Boss Yun has been dead for several years, Lai Zhicheng does not dare to do anything to Yun Er. It is said that Yun Da has connections with many ruthless people in the world. If he provokes those guys, it will be a big trouble.
Of course, Lai Zhicheng is not really afraid of Yun Chao, it's just that he has a family and a career and doesn't want to cause trouble. Who would want to fight with a barefoot guy if he has shoes?
"One hundred cents, Yun Er, if you teach me how to catch birds, I will give you one hundred cents!"
One hundred pennies is equivalent to more than ten kilograms of rice, but for the poor people of Wolong Village, it is definitely a considerable income.
What's more, Yun Chao is still a sixteen-year-old kid. In Lai Zhicheng's opinion, this kid will definitely jump with excitement when he hears that there is one hundred pennies available.
Unfortunately, much to Lai Zhicheng's expectation, Yun Chao not only didn't jump up, he even turned around and walked away without saying a word!
"Yun Er, what do you mean, do you look down on my father?"
Lai Zhicheng's eldest son Lai Shouren blocked Yun Chao's way, his voice was sinister and uncomfortable.
In the past, when Yun Chao saw this guy, he would stay away. This guy was too shady, he was an old shady guy.
However, today Yun Chao not only did not hide, but looked at him with disdain: "What's the matter, do you want to bully me with more people?"
"Damn, we just bullied you, what can you do?"
Lai Zhicheng's second son, Lai Shouyi, has a rough temper and has long disliked Yun Chao. Now that he sees how arrogant he is, he will take action immediately!
